High-Performance D170F Air Cooled Diesel Engine Overview

The Campes Power D170F is a compact, highly reliable single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled diesel engine. Featuring a space-saving design and direct-injection fuel system, this engine delivers solid power output (2.8kW / 3.8HP) while keeping fuel consumption low and emissions minimal (EU Stage V compliant).

Built with durable materials and an efficient cooling system, the D170F ensures excellent heat dissipation and dependable performance even in demanding environments. It is available with recoil start (standard) and optional electric start for added convenience.

Ideal Applications:

Thanks to its lightweight (only 27-33 kg) and versatile design, the D170F diesel engine is the ideal power source for a variety of small-scale agricultural, industrial, and portable equipment, including:

Portable diesel generators (2.5-3kW range)

• Agricultural micro-tillers and cultivators
• Water pumps and irrigation systems
• High-pressure washers and sprayers
• Small construction tools (e.g., vibrators, tampers)

FAQ:

Q1: What is the fuel consumption of the D170F diesel engine?
Answer: The D170F has a low fuel consumption rate of approximately 280-288 g/kWh (or about 0.6-0.8 liters per hour at full load, depending on application). This makes it highly efficient for continuous use in generators, pumps, or tillers, helping reduce operating costs compared to similar engines.

Q2: Does the D170F support electric start, and what battery is needed?</summary>
Answer: Yes, electric start is available as an optional upgrade (recoil/manual start is standard). For electric start, pair it with a 12V battery (typically 30-45Ah capacity). The electric start kit includes the starter motor and solenoid for reliable cold-weather starting.

Q3: How do I start the D170F if it’s hard to pull or won’t start?
Answer: Common starting tips: Ensure fresh diesel fuel (0# or 10# light diesel), check oil level, bleed air from the fuel line if needed, and use the decompression lever (if equipped) for easier recoil pull. In cold conditions, warm the glow plug (if present) or use starting aid. Most issues stem from old fuel or air in the lines—regular maintenance prevents this.

Q4: What oil should I use in the D170F, and how often to change it?
Answer: Use SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 diesel engine oil (API CD or higher grade). Oil capacity is about 0.75-1.0 liters. Change oil every 50-100 hours of operation (or every 3-6 months), and check level before each use. Proper lubrication extends engine life significantly.

Q5: Can the D170F power a 3kW generator or water pump?
Answer: Yes — its 2.8kW (3.8HP) max output is ideal for 2.5-3kW portable generators (at 3000/3600 RPM) or medium-flow water pumps. For continuous duty, stay under 80-85% load (around 2.2-2.5kW) to ensure longevity and efficiency. It’s a popular choice for backup power or irrigation setups.

Q6: What is the warranty and maintenance schedule for the D170F?
Answer: CAMPES provides an 18-month warranty on the D170F. Basic maintenance: Check oil/fuel daily, clean air filter every 50 hours, replace fuel filter every 200-300 hours, and inspect belts/nozzles annually. Follow the user manual for full details to maintain performance and warranty validity.
